CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference 2006 (CCNC2006)
Special Session on
Multimedia and QoS in Wireless Networks
7-10 January 2006 Las Vegas, NV
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2006/
Scope
Wireless networks including WLAN and WPAN as well as emerging mobile ad
hoc networks and wireless sensor networks, provide consumers with
platforms for convenient and ubiquitous access to information and
applications, and change the way in which people live, work, play, and
interact. Continual advances in radio communications, video/audio
compression, computing, and ICs technologies are enabling efficient and
robust multimedia applications over wireless networks, ranging from
in-home/in-car multimedia communications to networked entertainment
systems. However there are a lot of technical challenges to support
real-time multimedia and QoS over wireless networks due to variable
communication environments, limited battery power, and heterogeneous
devices. Intelligent network protocols, middleware and applications are
required for effective service discovery, network self-organization, and
system interaction and collaboration.
This special session is intended to provide a forum for researchers,
engineers, and practitioners to share their experiences, discuss
challenges, and report their state-of-the-art research and development
on all aspects of multimedia and QoS in wireless networks, especially
wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks. Contributions emphasizing
recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* QoS support in ad hoc networks and sensor networks
* Multimedia over WLAN, WPAN, and 3G/4G networks
* QoS-aware media access techniques and protocols
* Transport layer QoS support
* Cross-layer design such as integration of PHY, MAC, routing
and application aspects
* Service discovery
* QoS provisioning and control
* Resource adaptation algorithms for volatile computing and
communication environments
* QoS middleware
* Peer-to-peer technologies
* Networked multimedia sensor applications
* Video transport over ad hoc networks
* Architectures, protocols and platforms for networked gaming
and entertainment
* Voice over IP over wireless networks
* Broadcast and multicast in wireless networks
* Devices, testbed, performance evaluation and modeling
